SORIN Group (CarboMedics)

The SORIN Group is a medical technology leader focused on the development of medical devices for Cardiac Surgery. In 2003 Sorin, a European company, purchased CarboMedics, who was known worldwide for innovative biomaterial technologies. Sorin (CarboMedics) products include mechanical valves (Supra-annular Top Hat), tissue valves (Mitroflow), annuloplasty rings (AnnuloFlex & Memo 3D) and pericardial tissue (CardioFix). Sorin (Carbomedics), with a 100% freedom from mechanical valve failure safety record has provided additional industry evolutionary firsts and standards such as: mechanical valve rotation, 1:1 annulus to orifice supra-annular aortic valve placement, pericardial tissue mounted on the outside of the tissue valve stent that provides the industry’s greatest hemodynamic characteristics and advantages, and PhotoFix patch tissue treatment technology where no aldehydes are required before patch usage. http://www.sorin-hv.com/ »
